"I Would Be Your Man" by Odds

Odds were a post-grunge band from Vancouver that should have received much more attention in the US in the 90s. If their smart lyrics and gritty yet melodic guitars graced the airwaves, it would have been a better decade.

The closest the band came to making an appearance on the Top 100 was with the excellent "Someone Who's Cool," the lead-off track to their 1997 effort, "Nest." Another highlight from this album is "Out Come Stars." The more-or-less novelty track "Heterosexual Man," from 1993's "Bedbugs," also got considerable airplay.

"I Would Be Your Man" showcases the softer side of the band, with a gorgeous chorus that is sung beautifully by Craig Northey. It comes from their 1995 LP, "Good Weird Feeling." Just be warned: you'll be singing this for days, making people wonder why you're going around saying "fill your womb."
